I needed this guide after my spouse put the carafe in the dishwasher and the handle sloshed no matter how much I shook it. It turns out water is easily trapped under the top cap; even though there's a drain hole into the handle, it doesn't seem to want to drain. I've wiped it off and left it to dry completely before reassembling it.
